[[There is an exciting, new two-man indie band from New Orleans named Caddywhompus(
which means, basically, ass-backwards, broken and uneven) that officially released
their debut “EPs” this week.

My first taste of the band came earlier this month when they sent an email with 
a couple of songs attached. I was going to write about them weeks ago, but things
have been backlogged here at the cafe. Nevertheless, after listening to their music
for a few weeks now, Caddywhompus is officially an IRC band to watch in 09.

Caddywhompus’ sound comes at you with in-your-face exuberance of raucous noise pop
hipsters. There are rave-like romps, driving drum beats, psychedelic infusions, 
and fuzzy, dreamy harmonies. Songs like “This is Where We Blaze the Nuggz”‘ and “
Fun Times at Whiskey Bay” are perfect examples. Noise pop lovers will probably enjoy
these songs and others including the interestingly-named track “Eat Chest” and the“…
But Not Before A Show”.

There’s one problem: There is another band that they sound like so much and I cannot
think of that band’s name. And yet I know if someone says it, I’ll be like, “Dude!
That’s fricking it!” If you know, tell, please, tell. :-p
